TV Talk Podcast: Emmys Comedy Category Is No Laughing Matter This Year With Serious Contenders Galore


A week before voting begins for Emmy nominations, our Awards kingpin & our Lead TV Critic get serious about the funny business of the Comedy category

With just days to go before TV Academy votes start choosing who should be nominated, Awards columnist/Chief Film Critic Pete Hammond and Executive Editor Dominic Patten give their picks for the valued spots in the always highly competitive category. There’s no Barry,The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel or Ted Lasso this time round, because, there’s no more of AppleTV+’s beloved Jason Sudeikis fronted football (soccer for the Yanks) series or those other shows now – but there are still a lot of familiar names that are sure to be in the running. Everyone has favorites, so let’s not overlook the likes of Prime Video’s I’m A Virgo, the final season of FX’s acclaimed Reservation Dogs, BET+’s hilarious Diarra From Detroit, and AppleTV+’s Kirsten Wiig-led Palm Royale – to name a few.
